Crafting Pressed Botanical Gel Candles
Discover the art of capturing the fleeting beauty of nature in a luminous, long-lasting medium. In this hands-on workshop, you will learn the specialized techniques required to design and pour clear gel candles embedded with delicate pressed florals and botanicals.

What You Will Learn:
* Gel Wax Fundamentals: Understand the unique properties of gel wax, including safe melting temperatures, density grades, and how to achieve optimal clarity.
* Botanical Selection & Safety: Learn which pressed flowers and ferns retain their color best, and master the crucial safety placement techniques to keep botanicals securely away from the wick.
* Design & Composition: Explore layering techniques to suspend flowers at different depths, creating a vibrant, three-dimensional underwater-garden effect.
* Bubble Control: Master the secrets to controlling air bubbles—whether you want a crystal-clear, glass-like finish or a whimsical, effervescent look.
* Finishing Touches: Learn how to properly center wicks, secure containers, and add simple, rustic accents like twine to perfectly complement your natural design.
What’s Included:
* A selection of beautifully preserved pressed flowers, ferns, and wild botanicals.
* High-density glass candle jars, premium gel wax, and zinc-core wicks.
* All necessary melting, pouring, and safety equipment.
